Static code analysis finds defects and security vulnerabilities, but can be challenging for developers to prioritize which issues need to be addressed first. Developers can be presented with hundreds or thousands of defects, making it hard to decide where to start. With Klocwork 2017 SmartRank, that problem is solved.

"We knew our users were struggling with too many issues and no way to prioritize them," says Walter Capitani, Klocwork product manager at Rogue Wave Software. "Our engineers created a function within Klocwork that enables users to not only see what issues are important, but to have them ranked from most to least important."

This new technology is a groundbreaking addition for static code analysis, using smart algorithms to determine the most serious issues to address first. And with each release, Klocwork enhances its proprietary analysis engine to surpass competitive offerings. Last year, Klocwork CI introduced continuous static code analysis, allowing users to get faster static analysis results as part of their ontinuous integration build process. Now with the addition of SmartRank, users have one more way to make testing quicker and more seamless.
